- Lithium Powered Jump Starters & Boost Boxes can be extremely useful. They work so so much better than the Lead Acid based, a lot due to the lack of voltage drop while cranking, and the higher initial voltage of the lithium jump starters.
One unfortunate issue with the Lithium Jump Starters, also happens to be the battery. The LiPo Pouch cell batteries, over time, will "Balloon", meaning the actual pouch will "inflate" like a Mylar balloon. Some gassing and expansion is to be expected, and is part of the normal process of charging and discharging lithium cells. This gas is usually fairly minute, and absorbed back during the normal process of Charging & Discharging. Once it gets to the point where it is no longer being absorbed back in, that means the cells are at the end of life, and now reaching a phase where they are becoming unstable.
I decided to make a much more reliable, less likely to "blow" version of a jump starter, using my Milwaukee M18 Lithium Batteries. The majority of the M18 batteries use cylindrical cells such as the 18650 form factor for example, and are built to a much higher quality standard than the cheap jump starter packs that you see for sale. Further, the higher voltage of the M18 packs, will provide a "stronger" crank, especially when dealing with a dead lead acid starting battery.
I've already used the jump starter made in this video to start my flat dead Lawn Tractor (Not huge power requirements, I know) and my dads 1938 Cadillac Series 60, so he could get it in his garage.

You might wanna try a higher wattage soldering iron, the joints look cold soldered so they may fail at some point
Found the problem. Crap Flux. Got some good flux from the hardware store instead of Amazon, and it works so much better. Needed it anyways as I was doing some plumbing.
@@KmanAuto yeah that will work but just be aware that plumbing flux is more corrosive than electronics flux. There is a small difference, glad you found the issue!
Was going to do that but I just soldered it to the positive and negative one the circuit board of the phone charging adapter you can solder it to the 12 volt positive negative or the 18 volt positive negative
The wire on the blue connector looks like crappy aluminum. You can get some better quality copper wire from southwire and a nice XT connector. Also you should use a larger solder tip to spread more heat to what you are soldering.
I used to use butter knives 😂😂🤦♂️
Is there a reason I should even purchase the Ryobi jump starter that just came out?
I saw that, very surprised Milwaukee didn't get that tool first since they get to poach the really desirable stuff from Ryobi before ryobi releases it. That actually works a little different,
that Ryobi jump starter actually lowers the voltage to match with a 12 V lead acid battery is usually jumped with, it will lower to around 14 V. I haven't gotten any hands-on time with one, I'm hoping to stop at direct tool this weekend and check went out in person to see if I could use a Milwaukee battery adapter successfully with it. I use battery adapters for everything, stuff that I absolutely rely on is Milwaukee, the nice to haves but in frequent use is Ryobi or with a Milwaukee battery adapter on it.
of course I pick up the ryobi stuff usually 90% cheaper than the milwaukee version as well.
I first see the Ryobi version not just limiting voltage, but it's also going to limit the amperage as well. This will protect the battery considerably more. i've jumpstarted a number of vehicles, cars, trucks, boats, riding mowers with mine shown in this video, no problem. The key thing is you can't leave it on very long, clamp on started immediately and remove. Finally had the first vehicle best my home built jump starter shown in the video, and that was a Tesla model X. While I was super charging, someone rolled in on a tow truck. He claimed he couldn't find the charging station, realistically the idiot didn't even look hard enough, or found directions on his screen as it was on the second floor of the parking structure. I'll give them some slack as he only owned it for two days but only a little bit of slack. he bought it from a used car dealer that basically screwed him over but I won't go into that detail here. The 12 V battery and model X was basically junk and was only being supported by the DC to DC converter, but running the car flat dead shuts down the converter of course. As such his 12 V battery flat lined,
while he got towed to the charging station, he couldn't charge because the 12 V was dead in the contactor not activate. I tried using my jump starter to power up his 12 V enough for the contactor to close, however the computer systems all started booting at the same time. We actually didn't get enough power in that five seconds to get the contactor to close and the charging to start, however the intense draw actually caused the nickel battery tab inside the Milwaukee battery to melt.
this is an extreme case though, because it was both charging a stone dead 12 V battery while also powering up a powerful computer system. If that 12 V wasn't flat dead, it should've worked just fine with no problems though. Of course again edge case senator. if I had regular jumper cables I would've just jumped them from my model S.
@@KmanAuto Let me know if you purchase and it works with a Milwaukee battery/with an adapter. I myself am close to either purchasing Ryobi or Milwaukee to start going off of that platform. I want one battery platform in my garage, two tops and this might be the dealbreaker . Currently I have craftsman 19.2 and Milwaukee m12
@@jtcindahaus For battery platform, I recommend going Milwaukee. VERY Robust batteries. I then use an assortment of battery adapters. I have for Ryobi, HFT's Bauer (though don't have any Bauer tools), Makita, though only have 1 old impact left, it's my spare though, DeWalt, though I don't have any of those left either, they died a fiery death, and WORX, I made the WORX one myself. I have a lot of Worx lawn tools, which have been excellent tools, but the WORX batteries are absolute garbage. So now my WORX tools are running off Milwaukee's, and are starting to finally die/wear out after 11 years.
I do have a SnowJoe 40v snow blower, and chainsaw, so I'm going to attempt to make 40v adapters, so I can use 2 Milwaukee's to power those, as the snowjoe 40v line is discontinued, now it's 100v or 56 or something. So the batteries are basically unable to get, thankfully they are holding up good.
As for the RYOBI Jump Starter, I'll check it out if it's available. I know all the guys at the DT Store, so they let me bring my batteries in and try stuff first (since no returns)
@@KmanAuto let me know. Cause if that’s the case, i will go Milwaukee, then buy the Ryobi adaptor and go that route. Ryobi has some smaller tools that MKE will probably never make. I love my m12 stuff, so m18 a lot of sense, as long as I can buy some Ryobi tools using the adapter option
Does it give 18v to the car battery or does it lower the voltage to 12-14?
18v, which is perfectly fine for junp starting a dead battery. You are jumping not charging.
Can you run a series parallel with two m18 batteries and jump a 24v system?
@@kobipilling5918 I wouldn't. two m18's fully charged is putting out 40v
@@kobipilling5918 run with the new 6.0 forge or 12.0 HD for maximum amperage flow
I just pit whatever wires i can find around to power my winch and let it eat
Very cool
Is this hard on the m18 battery?
The answer is "Maybe". Depends HOW you do it. If you just connect the M18 up to the car and just start cranking, YES, it will be hard on the M18.
The proper way to do it, and same goes for any Jump Box, or Jump Starting from another vehicle, is connect the M18 (Other Vehicle, or Jump Box) to the vehicle, let it sit connected for 20-30 seconds for the M18 (longer if jumping from another vehicle or jump box, this is due to the higher voltage of a M18 battery, at ~21v fully charged). THEN try starting the vehicle. If it starts, immediately, as in, as quickly as possible disconnect the M18.
If the vehicle does NOT start, disconnect the M18 immediately and let it cool/rest.
The Idea is to get power into the vehicles actual battery before attempting to start. This will greatly reduce stress on the M18, jump box or jumping vehicle. HIGHLY recommended to do this with a FULLY CHARGED M18. I would not Jump Start a car or light truck with anything smaller than a XC5, Heavy Truck with a HD8 or HD12 is ideal, unless you have multiple M18's, use the first one to shuttle some charge into the vehicle battery, use the second to do the jumping.
I have done this a few dozen times now, and mine are holding up just fine.
In fact, I usually use a M18 XC5.0 that I pulled out of the Lithium Battery recycle bin at Home Depot, that had a dead battery board in it. I had replaced the battery board with an Alibaba one for $6, and it's been fully functional since. It's amazing what people discard!
Do not, unless extreme emergency, use a CP rated battery. They are for very light duty only and cannot handle High Output.
Wow looks awful . Gob the solder on doesn't make it work any better. Appearance is important
It's only a 5.4 L v8 gmc yukons have 6.2 L v8
would be nice to see it actually work on the real car.
coming soon. need a car to demo it on. i’m sure one will pop up with the -10*F we have right ow
OMG!
Afraid to ask, good "OMG" or bad "OMG"?
